One year ago, Rock Island Auction Company celebrated the grand opening of its state-of-the-art venue in Bedford, Texas. Envisioned as a cathedral for the fine arms field, this colosseum of collecting offers arms enthusiasts, investors, and collectors an arena to vie for the most coveted treasures on the global market. Competition at Rock Island Auction Company’s upcoming December 6 – 8 Premier Auction promises to be fast and furious, with the most important offering of Colt firearms in a century up for bid. Seven world-class collections headline the event, together representing over 250 years of pursuing the rarest, most distinguished, and historically significant Colts available.
The company offers numerous ways to join in on the action this December. Bids can be emailed, phoned in, faxed, and entered at Rockislandauction.com. The website also live streams each auction and hosts the company’s exciting online bidding platform, Rock Island Auction Live, a secure option that allows bidders to face off in real-time from anywhere in the world.
As convenient as online bidding can be, nothing compares to attending one of Rock Island Auction Company’s world-class events in person. Not only is each sale preceded by a preview day, where guests can examine and inspect each item up for bid in the venue’s 19,000-square-foot preview hall, but the auctions to follow are an experience unto themselves. There’s an unmatched thrill to bidding in person at Rock Island Auction Company and testing your hand against friendly rivals. The anticipation, the suspense, the rush of adrenaline as you snap up your bidder card at just the right moment. Nothing compares to hearing the hammer fall after a hard-fought duel, making the spoils of victory all the sweeter.
More than a destination, Rock Island Auction Company’s new facility at 3600 Harwood Rd., Bedford, in the heart of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, is the ultimate arena for the gentleman’s pursuit, where those with a taste for luxury and a passion for life’s finest treasures can compete to acquire the best-of-the-best.
